Quite shocked by this.Didn't even know she was ill.John Travolta seems to be cursed with all the tragedies he's endured

[MrWonderful 480]

Surprised to see this posted here in this thread.  She was an actress in her own right, after all.  Anyway, this is very sad.  I was definitely a fan of her work.  RIP.

This is another heavy blow for John Travolta, after the death of his son. Very sad news. I always enjoyed Preston's performance in "The Experts", a funny and original film, though few critics will agree.

Yeah sometimes this thread is full of absolute nobodies linked to a distant relative of someone who is barely a celebrity in their own right.

 

Then I wake up to Katie Price's*** son might be dying, Elvis Presley's grandson has killed himself and the Hollywood actress Kelly Preston, wife of John Travolta, has died all reported consecutively in this thread.

 

*** I do realise that including Katie Price in the same list as Elvis Presley and John Travolta is stretching it a bit, but due to her own self publicity it's hard to argue that in this country she's not famous - she's always strived for maximum exposure in the tabloids 

 

EDIT: FFS could have been four with Nelson Mandela's daughter but that death was posted in his thread.

The 27 Club requires more qualifications than merely dying at 27.
